1“Whoa has believed our message, andb toc whom has the armd of the LORD been revealed? 2For he grew up before him like a tender plant, and like a root out of a dry ground; he had no form and he hade no majesty that we should look at him,f and there is no attractiveness that we should desire him.g 3“He was despised and rejected by others, andh a man of sorrows, intimately familiar withi suffering; and like one from whom people hide their faces; and did not value him. 4“Surely he has borne our sufferings and carried our sorrows; yet we considered him stricken, andl struck down by God, and afflicted. 5But he was wounded for our transgressions, andm he was crushed for our iniquities, andn the punishment that made us whole was upon him, and by his bruises we are healed. 6All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned, each of us, to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he didn’t open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, aso a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not openp his mouth. 8“From detention andq judgment he was taken awayr — and who can even think about his descendants?s For he was cut off from the land of the living, he was strickent for the transgression of my people. 9Then they madeu his grave with the wicked, and with rich peoplev in his death,w although he had committed no violence, nor was there any deceit in his mouth.” The Exaltation of the Servant 10“Yet the LORD was willing to crush him, and he made him suffer.x Although you make his soul an offering for sin, hey will see his offspring, andz he will prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will triumph in his hand. 11Out of the suffering of his soul he will see lightaa andbb find satisfaction. Andcc through his knowledge his servant,dd the righteous one, will make many righteous, and he will bear their iniquities. 12Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great,ee and he will divide the spoils with the strong; because he poured out his life to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he carried the sinsff of many, and made intercession for their transgressions.”gg Footnotes: a 53:1 So 1QIsaa 1QIsab MT; LXX reads Lord, who b 53:1 So 1QIsaa 1QIsab; MT lacks and c 53:1 So 1QIsaa 1QIsab; MT reads upon d 53:1 i.e. the Messiah e 53:2 So 1QIsaa; 1QIsab MT LXX lack he had f 53:2 So 1QIsaa 1QIsab MT LXX; 1QIsaa may read at ourselves g 53:2 So 1QIsaa MT LXX; 1QIsaa may read desire ourselves h 53:3 So 1QIsaa; 1QIsab MT LXX lack and i 53:3 So 1QIsaa LXX; MT reads and acquainted with; 1QIsab reads and knowing j 53:3 So 1QIsaa 1QIsab; MT LXX lacks and k 53:3 So 1QIsaa; MT LXX read he was despised l 53:4 So 1QIsaa LXX; MT lacks and m 53:5 So 1QIsaa LXX; MT lacks and n 53:5 So 1QIsaa 1QIsab; MT LXX lack and o 53:7 So 1QIsaa; MT LXX read and as p 53:7 So 1QIsaa; MT reads does not open q 53:8 So 1QIsaa MT; 1QIsab lacks and r 53:8 So 1QIsaa MT LXX; 1QIsab reads judgment they took him away s 53:8 Or future t 53:8 So 1QIsaa; MT reads living, an affliction u 53:9 So 1QIsaa; 4QIsad MT read he made; LXX reads I will give v 53:9 So 1QIsaa; 1QIsaa corrector MT read with a rich man w 53:9 So 1QIsaa LXX; MT reads deaths x 53:10 So 1QIsaa; 4QIsad MT read he made him suffer; LXX reads with a blow y 53:10 So MT LXX; 1QIsaa reads And he z 53:10 So 1QIsaa 4QIsad; 1QIsab MT lack and aa 53:11 So 1QIsaa 1QIsab 4QIsad LXX; MT reads He will see of the suffering of his soul bb 53:11 So 1QIsaa 4QIsad; MT lacks and cc 53:11 So 1QIsaa; 4QIsad MT lacks And dd 53:11 So 1QIsaa; 4QIsad MT read my servant ee 53:12 i.e. an allusion to the resurrection ff 53:12 So 1QIsaa 1QIsab 4QIsad LXX; MT reads the sin gg 53:12 So 1QIsaa 1QIsab 4QIsad LXX; MT reads for the transgressors The Holy Bible: International Standard Version® Release 2.1 Copyright © 1996-2012 The ISV Foundation ALL RIGHTS RESERVED INTERNATIONALLY.
